I have been going to discount grocery outlet for many years with my family, and always have enjoyed my experience shopping there. Not only do you get access to unbelievable discounts on all you need to feed your family at home, but the employees there always go that extra step to help you find the best options and savings for that picky eater, a family member with an allergy or diet restrictions, find that new must-have brand snack your son is raving about, and never forgetting that mom needs her favorite coffee for those busy mornings too
Then last year a new owner took over and I was terrified! First for the employees, that I consider my second family. Would they all be let go? What if the new owner lowers their pay grade and they are unable to maintain their current way of life? What if the business model is changed, and the community doesn't have access to the meats for their family or lunch box options that at regular price are not in most typical size families budget, not to mention the budget of many large or growing family! So, needless to say my wheels instantly started trying to find ways to fix all these terrible chages, THAT WERE IMAGINED IN MY HEAD! I hate to admit it, but I was not optimistic at all for the future of this special place I found so many years ago.
THEN I WAS REMINDED WHY ALTHOUGH SCARY AND UNCERTAIN AT TIMES, CHANGE IS A NESSASARY AND CONSTANT PART OF OUR LIVES! WITHOUT IT, WE COULD NEVER EXPERIENCE ALL THE WONDERS OF OUR WORLD THOUGH THIS JOURNEY WE CALL OUR LIFE..........
Something I thought would be destroyed if changes were introduced, has only been inhanced and improved by the talents of the new HOH of my "2nd family", and New owner of that place I never realized was so special to me, has afforded me the opportunity to meet this wonderful woman and also erase all my worry because I know she is committed to her business, staff, patrons and community 100%. She is a woman of pride and dedication. She works hard to accommodate the needs of all she can. Numerous times has stayed up to an hour after closing time because my schedule often puts me there right before 6, but she will stay while I shop. Shes always inquiring about how my children are doing, or if there is any troubles out side of the store she could help me with. I know she cares about my well being as I do hers. This place always reminds you although it may seem like finding a needle in a haystack, beautiful souls are still VERY present in our world and I hope every person reading this is lucky enough to meet these beautiful people and experience DISCOUNT GROCERY OUTLET for the savings, the solice, and smile that you won't leave without. You are never just a sale or a stranger at Discount Grocery. Your a neighbor, a friend, a family. I love and appreciate each and every one of these extraordinary people and am so lucky I get to call them my friends. read more
